Magic happenings
Forced friction fatalities
Encounters splendid
Graduation peers
Exchanging poetry notes
Or lunch on Wednesdays
Of Chinese takeout
Television dinner tray
Clouds of orange and white
Roaring of dragons
Gasoline and grass cuttings
Boxes from grandma
Perceptions ingrained
Notions systemic of norms
Without reference cues
The sounds from the depths
When the salmon swim upstream
Will drown out rivers
Hands and feet and backs
The parts that equal the wholes
Arranged like photos
Uncompromising
Positions of no return
Triplet eighth note birds
Amazing powers
Restraint and disciplined will
Ability thoughts
Pinky chaperone
Potential satisfaction
Blissfully enveloping
The curator’s job
Assist artists find their voice
Then tuck them in bed
When the ending comes
Weighty burdens of dying
Lift like springtime morn
